But then who will make my PlayStation 4?
By the way, I'll drop this footnote of a story to underscore earlier observations about Han chauvinism. China says Xinjiang minorities prefer dancing over making trouble Quote:

But then, if United States in the 90s were any indication, China probably would see a lot more of these before it is over. The problem is China is getting more westernized (including on sex), but sex Ed isn't catching up. The ideas of condoms/birth control are still behind. |

The weird thing is it isn't religiously motivated. It's just tradition, that some things you just don't talk about. Now in modern day of course, everyone can find out about ANYTHING they want, they just had to ask. Society had to adjust according to realities. You can't depend on ignorance any more.

I'm not very certain it's Westernisation or just simply modernisation. To label the latter as "Westernisation" seems to imply that only the West is "modern", and that Chinese youth are blindly copying a "Western" lifestyle rather than being themselves in a local context unique to them.
I think the situation may be more complicated. It's not as though amorous relationships are unknown in China, be it today or historically. It may well have simply been less reported in the past and therefore out of the public eye. It doesn't necessarily mean that *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* wasn't going on, out of sight from nosy neighbours. Meanwhile: Anthropology professor shares stories of how animals grieve

Uniquely, because they are trying to discourage gender bias selective abortions, the government is trying to ban ultrasounds for the purpose of gender identification. But people do it anyway because there is money to be made. And this caused the famous gender imbalance. I wonder how they are going in fixing it?

They were given government funded abortion option long before getting to that point. Ignorance of protected sex may lead to pregnancy, but since they had an option to fall back on, ignorance is not a valid excuse. I'm not sure what you're going about, it's not relevant to the case.

I wish we can find a way to solve fish stock shortages so we can stop fighting over fishing rights. Didn't Somalia pirates start as unemployed fishermen? We need to mass produce farmed fish.
